Patient's question:
My father is elderly and has some high blood pressure. I want to help him gradually regulate it through lifestyle adjustments. What are some lifestyle guidelines for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
For patients with general hypertension, in daily life, the first priority is to pay attention to controlling diet, eating less salt, avoiding greasy foods, and primarily basing meals on vegetables and fruits. Additionally, it's important to exercise more to increase the consumption of fat in the body and prevent arteriosclerosis. On the basis of dietary control and physical exercise, if blood pressure still doesn't reach normal levels, appropriate antihypertensive medication can be used for treatment.
